Marriage with 'Uthman

Umm Kulthum emigrated to Medina with her father, the Prophet (s). When her elder sister, Ruqayya passed away, Umm Kulthum married to 'Uthman.[4] Their marriage took place in Rabi' I3/624 after the Battle of Badr. 'Uthman had no children of her.[5]

Different sources report the burial of Ruqayya[10] and Zaynab[11] in al-Baqi' cemetery near the grave of 'Uthman b. Maz'un, following the advice of the Prophet (s). However, there is no report about the burial location of Umm Kulthum. Only later writers including Farhad Mirza[12] and Raf'at Pasha[13] have mentioned that Umm Kulthum is buried beside other daughters of the Prophet (s) and have also referred to the tomb built over their graves. In the past, there was a brazen darih over their graves.[14] Wahhabis destroyed this tomb.
